Steph Curry Got Upset Over Klay Thompson Incident

Curry remains the face of the Warriors, but Golden State has struggled to find consistency over the past two seasons. The team finished seventh in the Western Conference and reached the conference semifinals last year, yet sits below .500 this season despite Curry’s continued high-level production.

Even with the two no longer sharing a backcourt, Curry made it clear that he is still closely protective of his longtime teammate. That sentiment surfaced following a November matchup between the Mavericks and the Memphis Grizzlies, a game in which Thompson led Dallas with 22 points while knocking down six of his 12 attempts from beyond the arc. Late in the contest, Thompson became involved in a heated exchange with Ja Morant.

Curry addressed the incident afterward, admitting it bothered him to see Thompson confronted without the presence of his former Warriors teammates. While he appreciated Thompson continuing to carry himself with pride tied to Golden State’s success, Curry said he took issue with the situation unfolding the way it did.

“The idea that he is carrying the Warrior success no matter what jersey he has on, I do like that part of it,” Curry said via ESPN’s Anthony Slater and Tim MacMahon. “But I don't like people taking shots at him when he doesn't have that coverage and he doesn't have his guys with him.”

The altercation between Thompson and Morant occurred as the final horn sounded. Morant, who was sidelined with a calf strain, approached Thompson on the floor and exchanged words with him, prompting teammates and security personnel to intervene before the situation escalated.

Morant later added to the moment by interrupting a postgame interview with Grizzlies teammate Cam Spencer, shouting into the camera, “Tell ’em who the best shooter in the house was, it wasn’t bro from Golden State.”

Curry’s reaction comes amid continued speculation and trade rumors that have loosely linked Thompson to a potential reunion with his former team. While Curry acknowledged those conversations, whether the Splash Brothers will ever share the same jersey again remains uncertain.
